So explain how the requested $250,000 for "resufacing the track" has now changed to just $150,000. Are we resurfacing only part of the track? Or was the $250,000 an inflated number? And why does it now say "resufacing the track/and field improvements." Are they planning on using the $150,000 for something other than the track?

If you want something to pass, you low-ball the item, get it passed, pick your favorite contractor, start the construction until the approved amount is used up, go back to council and say "Do you want us to stop or will you come up with thousands more. They will then say, "I guess the original $250,000 was closer than we thought, so just throw in another $100,000 and some more in case that is not enough.

Just where do these people think the money is going to come from? Oh, it's not going to cost anything as we will bond it.
